Sick of razzle!

[MistyBlue]

Actually, my sim dog was about to pass out from exhaustion and piss himself, but all the family members kept bothering him to play razzle.

IRL, my boxer is pooped within 10 minutes, my jack russell would take about 2 hours...eventually, they prefer sleep.

[J. M. Pescado]

BUT I don't use No Baby Harassment. I never have a problem with them taking care of their children...even if it results in a visit from the social worker...but now, they don't even realize they have a child. All they want to do is razzle the damn dog!

Thing is, sim actions are pretty deterministic: they always choose the highest-advertised action. So one action will always turn into an obsessive-compulsive one, because it will have the highest default ads and therefore always be chosen. Sim-autonomy is stupid.

[sanmonroe]

They are obsessive over the finger wiggle or tossing it. 

If I tossed like that, I doubt I'd have much of a face left.

This is how you should have said it.

Only problem I've had with the vanilla game (no hacks) is the horrible lag the game gets when someone gets promoted. Mouse freezes, game freezes, no sound for about a minute and a half and then I get the stupid, "You got promoted!" popup.

Glad I'm not the only one. Everything else is running ever so smoothly in spite of my not so high-end computer. But everytime it happens I always think the game froze and is ready to reboot...

Oh, and the razzle obsession is bloody annoying and will continue to be so until someone makes a hack to stop the insanity. What bothers me the most, though, are all those damn visitors who immediately after entering the lot walks up to the dogs and start pestering them...

I constantly find myself screaming: "Bite them already!"

At the screen. I'm stupid that way.

I think it has something to do with the code to unlock the stupid collars and fur colors : so far I only noticed the lag when pets got promoted. I hope it stops once all the stupid things wil be unlocked.

Want all the unlock codes?

[pioupiou]

Thanks but I'm too lazy to type the darn things.... I've tried, typed 3 and gave up.

[jrd]

Eh, give us a few days and we'll have the Accessory.cache cracked so you can unlock everything.

[Motoki]

pioupiou: If you run the game in window mode cut and paste works.

Good to know, thanks.

Aha, that's probably it! It never hit me that it happened when pets got promoted only, but when I think about it, so, yeah...

[PlayLives]

Think we will get an update of the Teleporter shrub to make a pet a stray?

[jrd]

Sure, once I have Pets installed. Tell me, can you teleport in Pets with the current version? Are Pets even selectable like Sims are?

//Edit: seems like you /can/ select Pets. Try the test version in the teleporter thread.

[ZiggyDoodle]

Actually, if anyone has Pets installed and unlocked something, can they send me their Accesory.cache? I don't plan on installing it just yet myself, but would like to see if I can crack the format.

Just got home from work and booted up, Jordi; emailed myself all the codes from my office (thanks for posting them, guys) and if I manage to unlock anything, will send on the cache file.

[Li'l Brudder]

Actually Jordi, I need your e-mail.  When zipped, it goes down to 1 MB.

[jrd]

Lil: jordik at gmail dot com

Thanks!

[Li'l Brudder]

No problem Jordi.

So, the theory is that by distributing the CACHE file, anyone will be able to use it if placed in the Sims 2 folder?

[jrd]

Seems like it.

Interesting… the only difference between your cache (in which you unlocked stuff) and the vanilla one is that yours has seven new entries. The 715 existing ones are not changed in any way (and include facial hair, glasses, collars, and fur patterns—presumably all existing content is listed here already, as well as the non-locked Pets stuff).

This means that as stuff is unlocked, it is added to the Accessory.cache… and a quick way to unlock all does not really exist without further hacking the code. It might be faster to just get a completed cache file from someone else.

[dizzy]

Or someone could make a custom hack that does whatever is unlocking stuff in:

# Group = 0x7F8F4EB6, Instance = 0x203F
# Title = Sub - Level Change

EDIT: Here you go:

This unlocks all the pet codes if you enable debug mode and select "Neighborhood/Make me know everyone". (This is also my 2nd successful Lua mod.) 

How this works (shouldn't be too difficult to add):

Code:

local i = KissingPointsUnlock()
while i >= 0 do
    i = KissingPointsUnlock()
end

[Li'l Brudder]

Okay then.

Since I already have an accessory.cache, I won't need to bash my head in pre-pets simPE with dizzy's.

Then you should encourage "hostily towards stranger".  Not sure if they will bite though.

I like that aspect of the game, that you can have well behaved friendly dogs, or junkyard, destructive dogs, or anything in the middle.

[LynnMar]

I know what you mean, it is pet abuse and I already did a thread on it,  hinting for a no harrass the pets mod when JM gets his EP. 

 It is worse than the way they harrassed the poor little babies.   

[nectere]

Its also worse than babies due to the fact that sims have no desire to actually care for their pets in a meaningful way. I have yet to see a pet owner auton feed their pet, wash it, or take it for a walk - none of the basic care needs, plus they will harass it beyond its ability i.e. bladder and energy in red. Its almost as if they see the pet as an object to gain fun with and nothing more...

[Motoki]

And the cat pans never need cleaning. I wish they made ones like that irl.

[MistyBlue]

They do feed autonomously when the pet "asks" for food. Mine have done it several times and I'm glad or all my pets would be dead. The only one they don't feed autonomously is the wormrat, which did die.
